Science is amenable to experimentation. You can design any experiment you want, to try to prove or disprove anything you want - go to it.
You can make the experiment as woke or unwoke as you want. Like COVID, science is indifferent to whether or not you think it is what it is.
You can dress it in whatever clothes you want to dress science in, you can give it any personality you want - you can bark and bark and bark, and yap and yap about it, but it will just carry on, from a time before you were here, to a time well after you are gone.
